How I Can Help You

For more than 35 years, I have helped entrepreneurs, emerging growth companies, and public corporations raise capital, communicate their value, and build credibility with investors, analysts, and strategic partners.

My experience includes working with companies that pioneered innovations in biotechnology, telecommunications, semiconductor technology, healthcare, and marine imaging. I served as investor relations advisor to Neuralstem during multiple financing rounds, helping the company secure approximately $14 million in funding. I also worked with Coda Octopus during the commercialization of the Echoscope, one of the first real-time 3D underwater imaging systems.

Earlier in my career, I earned a doctorate and participated in the reconceptualization movement that influenced curriculum theory and graduate education. I also directed workforce development initiatives that connected businesses, government agencies, and educational organizations to create training and employment opportunities for thousands of young people.

I enjoy helping entrepreneurs who are moving from concept to commercialization and need guidance on funding, business strategy, investor communications, and growth planning. Whether you are preparing to raise capital, refining your business model, developing strategic partnerships, or positioning your company for growth, I can help you create a practical path forward.
